New handmade brooches available in my Etsy shop!

Here is another installment of my latest collection that I've just added to my Etsy shop! My handmade brooches are Aztec/Carnival inspired and are created from scraps of lace and fabric (including beautiful Liberty prints) that I have dyed vivid pink and neon yellow using eco friendly inks. I machine stitched the fabric pieces together and then hand embellished with gems, beads, sequins and a touch of hand embroidery. I've had a lot of fun making these and they are equally fun to wear- I like to wear mine with my summer dresses and they make a real statement! I'm gradually adding to this collection and I'll keep you posted as I add more pieces. Check them out in my Etsy shop!

Aztec/Carnival brooches

I've been in the studio today continuing with the Aztec/Carnival themed brooches, made using up-cycled fabrics, eco friendly screen printing inks, sequins, gems and embroidery.

I've been making slow progress on these because I've been working on lots of other things, but I'm really hopeful that in the next couple of weeks I'll be posting to tell you that I've made a small collection! I'm enjoying wearing the original one I made with summery clothes in this lovely weather.

Happy Friday everyone!
